(Chicago, Illinois) A sex toy popular among gay men has landed a Chicago area man in jail facing charges that could see him sent to prison for up to three years.
Mardin Amin, 29, was going through security at O'Hare Airport, with his mother, on route to Turkey for a holiday to see relatives, when a security guard began going through his backpack.
The female guard pulled a small black plastic device out of the backpack and asked Amin what it was.
What happened next depends on who you ask.
Amin says that he said in a low voice, so that his mother could not hear, that it was a penis pump.
The guard says that he whispered it was a bomb.
She called for backup, and Amin was whisked away to jail. He's charged with felony disorderly conduct.
In court this week, Amin's lawyer called it a misunderstanding.
"He told her it's a pump," attorney Eileen O'Neill-Burke told a Cook County judge. "He's standing with his mother. Of course he's not going to shout this out."
The guard, however, testified that she clearly heard the world "bomb" and the prosecutor told the court that Amin also told a second guard he had a bomb when questioned about the device.
Judge Gerald Winieck ruled there was enough evidence for the case to proceed and agreed to allow Amin out on bail.
